Change is a good thing

You might notice a few slight changes to today's paper.

The first being the physical size of the newspaper. It's a little fatter. There are six columns instead of five. The new width meets current newspaper industry standards and is being used by most large newspapers across the country.

Out front, we uncovered our name plate and moved the "teasers" to the top. We're proud of BT and want it to be seen loud and clear. We also want readers to be able to see what's inside of the paper with a quick glance.

The second thing you might notice is our new and improved page 2.

We're really excited about this one.

BT's weather coverage has just gotten better, thanks to a newly-formed partnership with ABC/FOX affiliate WJCL/WTGS. Instead of having just one day's worth of weather, readers can plan ahead for the next five. We'll continue to keep the tide charts since we know that many of you look to the river when deciding how to proceed with the rest of your day, particularly during this gorgeous boating weather.

Here's another thing that won't change: Local news. That's our focus and will remain so. What will likely change in the upcoming weeks and months is the placement of stories and columnists. BT's website will also undergo improvements.

As the changes come, we'll be sure to keep our readers in the loop. After all, this is your newspaper. If you see something that you really like, we want to hear about. If you spot something that you're not too keen on, we want to hear about that too. We want your feedback. Email us, call the Vox line (that's not going away) or post something on our website or on BT's Facebook page. There's plenty of ways to communicate and we hope to hear from ya'll real soon.
